This is comment on Proposed Rule

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a Petition to List Five Penguin Species Under the Endangered Species Act, and Proposed Rule To List the Five Penguin Species

View Comment

I support the proposed rule listing African penguins as Endangered. In addition to threats ranging from competition for food by local fisherman and seals, to oil spills and habitat destruction, African penguin populations are decreasing because of the effects of climate change. Therefore, the Fish & Wildlife Service was right to conclude that the African penguin is in imminent danger of extinction.
